  I wish the photos were more close-up view rather than the whole model posing.

  I’d love to have a go at these.

  When are there going to be complete instructions for this pattern. They seem to have been revised but the crucial section referring to the outer leg seams and the button placket is still missing. This is a paid for pattern and the instructions should be much better. Many thanks.

  It sounds like to me that mastering the placket is the hardest part of making these shorts. If you can figure this out, and then well, the world of 1930s pants, skirts even top patterns are your oyster.

  I’m in the middle of making these, having struggled through a muslin, and I can honestly say that they’re not difficult, but the instructions are totally shot to pieces – Step 9 has the tech drawings for Step 9 but the written instructions for Step 11, repeated again at Step 11. Step 9 is the important section about adding your facings to the side panels where the buttons and buttonholes are, so it’s incredibly frustrating not to have this. I’ve mudduled through, but could we please have a re-write of the instructions? If it was free that wouldn’t be an issue but as it’s a pattern you have to pay for, I think maybe it would be good if someone spent a little time re-writing them?

  Having said that the final product is gorgeous it’s worth the struggle :D

  A warning – the instructions are difficult to make heads nor tails of unless you really know what youre doing. Not intermediate.

    Nothing new for these patterns. I find the instructions very difficult to follow on most of the patterns

    I agree – a weak point is that the instructions are always hard to follow, a strong point however is that the final product always looks like the picture/example/technical drawing. In fact I shall get my SO to take some pics of mine and upload :)

  Burdastyle please provide a print at copy shop option for this-I’m not paying for something that I then have to spend a couple of hours (and way too much brain pain) ‘assembling’. Tthe folded bits of put together patterns are also a pain to transfer and cutting out the excess isn’t exactly ‘stringent’ either.. :(

  Why charge for a product that’s final images you can’t even see due to horrific overexposure? It’s like a full on white out!

  So disappointing that Burdastyle now charges for what use to be free :(

  Lovely, I had a pair like this a few years ago, and wore them to death. The side openings make them really comfy – you can just not do up the top set on either side if you’ve eaten too much dinner! I need to get working on a new pair, just in case the summer appears!
